MyAssets list is still buggy after this many years

Unity Engine

I have submitted this as a bug report multiple times, I think, it’s still abysmally buggy.
After a short while when you scroll around in the package manager in the MyAssets view, the selection becomes buggy. One asset stays selected, if you click the asset above it, it stays selected and the clicked asset becomes selected as well, if you select below it, the selection indicator doesn’t move.
(In reality, it the details panel, the selected asset shows up, only the selection indicator collapses on itself).

Some screenshots to visualize the problem:

(The one below the previous selection is selected)

(Somehow this one is working, but it has nothing to do with the selected asset itself, it’s random event, or some internal buffer runs out of memory or whatever)

No, I won’t submit it as a bug again, I had done it before.

Hi Lurking-Ninja,

I’m sorry if nobody responded to your bug report :frowning: Do you still have the bug IDs you reported?

  1. Based on your screenshots provided, it looks like a recent Unity editor version. Can you specify the exact version of the Unity editor you are using? We changed the implementation of the List View so it is an important info to help us debugging.

  2. After a short while… do you have any more specific reproduction steps? I noticed you are using a sorting mode which is not the default one (Purchased date instead of Name asc). It might have an impact.

Sorry again and thank you for reporting it, we will troubleshoot…

No, sorry, I don’t have them anymore.

Indeed, this is 2022.2.0f1.
I am not willing to recreate the circumstances of this bug, because of it occurred during a big session of asset download (involved many gigabytes of assets, preparing for offline usage with the Asset Library tool).
So the fact that the Package Manager was “stress-tested” may had an impact (having usually at least two assets download in progress at any given time).

What have I done exactly:

  • created a new project in 2022.2.0f1
  • I selected my desired packages from Unity Registry and from my own github
  • I decided to use Asset Library asset store package (basically search engine to use unimported assets), so I needed to download my desired assets from the asset store
  • I sorted my assets purchase date (latest on top)
  • went through the assets and downloaded all the relevant ones (HDRP support, modern look, etc)
  • involved clicking through all packages, so I loaded all items (~600 entries in the list)
  • clicking a lot of back and forth between descriptions and images was involved as well

Hi Lurking-Ninja,

Thanks for providing us with some guidance. The team spent some time trying to repro the issues reported in your screenshots. Unfortunately, we were not able to repro. Maybe that is why the bugs you reported did not make its way to the development team.

If ever you run into it again and are able to reproduce it, please report it with repro steps and we would have a look again. In the mean time, the team is aware of the issue and we will keep an eye on it.

Thank you
